The Arrest OF Mr. John n. Crane,

An information was filed yesterday In the
police court charging John II, Crane with
violating the water law. The affidavit was
made by Inspector j. G. Hocombe, Of the
water registrar srofllce, and charges;
That John II. Crane did on the ed OF Sep
tember, on street northwest, then and there
yemoue The COrer fran a pdlve boz. =
This charge is made under the following
law
If any person or persons shall open or assist
In opening any ireplug under the control OF
the city, except In case of actual fire In tn
vicinity, or remove the cover from auy valve
box or stop.cock box.
The facts are stated briefly: That Mr..
Crane, riding on l. street. stepped out OF
his carriage and lifted with his fingers one
side OF the cover OF valve box about six
inches, replacing 1t Immediately. He was
seen and recognized by one Of the District
employees, the fact reported to Capt. Sy-
mons, and that official directed Inspector
Holcombe to swear out warrant against
MIR Crane on the charge Of removing the
lid from a valve box.
Mr.. John ii. Crane is a well.known citi-
zen OF Washington, a man OF unimpeachel
standing, who has lately been very active
In charging mismanagement upon the Oill-
GERS OF the District In charge Of the water
department, aud they have been prompt to
accuse him OF aviolation OF the laws under
which they act.
In fact, they have been little too prompt.
Courts construe laws and the words that
=, are used in framing them, and Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary is recognized as
authority as to the meaning OF words. II
Webster knows the meaning OF the word
"remove," Mr.. Crane did not 'remove
the cover from valve box" as the Of
fetal charges, and there may be counter
charge Of perjury.
Webster defines the verb "remove" TO
mean ''to cause TO change place; TO move
away from the position occupied; to dis.
place." In the remarks upon the meaning
Of the word We find 1t said, "remove usually
or always denotes a change OF place IN a

Demanding an Extra session.

Speaking OF the bond circular aud its et-
fects, the New York Graphic says;
1t should never be forgotten, however, that
these are but temporary makeshifts to tide over
period of danger. and that permanent relief
can only come through the action OF Congress
in reducing taxation. Congress should be
called ut once.
The World says:
Whatever may be the result of the Presl.
dents action In directing that nm offer be made
for government bonds with view to relieving
the money market, Congress should be sun
mOned to NEE. in extra session.
The Critic says:
Congress cannot deal with the matter too
soon or too vigorously, and the Critic, which
strongly advocated an extra session in 0cto-
Der is now equally strenuous in the opinion
that it should be assembled IN November.

By an error in transmitting tho dispatches
from New York to Boston 1t was announced
on Thursday morning that the government
would purchase 24,000,000 bonds at a
premium OF 25 per cent The result was
that when the exchanges opened there was
general scramble of bidders, and all kinds
of securities went up rapidly. Within an
hour the error was corrected, aud 1t was
found that only Sli,0j),0j@ OF the bonds
were to be purchased At once securities
fell to point lower than they were In the
morning. This fact shows that II the ad-
ministration would do what it ought to, put
all the surplus now in tue treasury into cir
culation, all values would increase.

One of Mayor Hewitt friends says that
all the mayors troubles arises from his
inability TO wear flannel underclothing.
Winter or summer, sunshine or sleet
storms, Mr.. Hewitt can wear no harsher
or thicker undergarments than the thin
nest silk. If he would or could only put
on heavy flannels,' said Dr. Herrick the
other other day, we'd have him down
town in jiffy. New York Sun.

paper in shape like our foolscap was gem

Not so in Europe. Nothing ever goes ont

or others interested in its sale can accom-
